Cuevas de Vera

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cuevas de Vera is a town in south-eastern Spain, on the right bank of the river Almanzora, 13 km (8 miles) west of the Mediterranean Sea. It is one of the major markets for the rich agricultural districts towards the south and for the argentiferous lead and, other mines among the mountains. In appearance it is modern, with wide streets and a parish church in Doric style, dating from 1758. But in reality the town is of considerable antiquity.
